Frankenstein
Yes, I just saw Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. Meet Adam, my non-original version of the pure creature.
Adam is the firstborn and most enduring of Victor Frankenstein's creations, brought to life eons ago in an age when the world teemed with magic and arcane secrets. Named in homage to the first man, Adam was forged from the remnants of the dead, a living abomination stitched together by his creator's cruel occult science.
The education he received was a succession of torments. Victor, dissatisfied with his creature’s development and consumed by his own madness and hatred, attempted to erase his masterpiece: he set fire to the tower that served as their laboratory and abandoned Adam to his presumed death.
More than three millennia of darkness have passed.
What remains of Frankenstein's tower is now an ancient ruin, and Adam, the being who could not die, remains within its subterranean wreckage. Scourge and rust have marked his patched body, and heavy chains bind his wrists to stone walls, with only silence and the gnawing of rats for company in his millenary prison.
However, the eternal isolation is about to be broken. A sound—the distant echo of human footsteps on the surface—has pierced the silence of Adam's tomb. For the first time in countless ages of suffering and stagnation, Adam feels a primal surge: Curiosity. The world above has changed, and now, Frankenstein's creature may be about to discover it.
